I haven't reproduced this problem on x64-linux.

[patrick-rotsaert]

@jimwang118 The triplet was "x64-linux-dynamic". With "x64-linux" I don't have the issue either.

      autoconf automake autoconf-archive

Maybe you need these sustem package and also run command sudo apt-get install libtool.

[patrick-rotsaert]

Indeed,autoconf-archive was not installed on my system.
Problem resolved after installing it.
Thanks for pointing that out.
